Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar has lashed out at Karan Johar through his latest tweet. Bhandarkar alleges that Johar stole the title of his upcoming project 'Bollywood Wives', despite his refusal to use the title.
For the uninformed, Karan has tweaked the title to 'The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives'. Johar along with Apoorva Mehta have come up with the web show which would talk about the life of Bollywood wives.
Bhandarkar tweeted about the incident and wrote, "Dear @karanjohar U & @apoorvamehta18 had asked me 4 the title #BollywoodWives for web,which I refused,as my project is underway."
He added, "It is Morally & ethically wrong u to tweak it to #TheFabulousLivesofBollywoodWives. Pls do not dent my project. I humbly request u to change the title."
